Ages 12+, but every child is different
The game features frequent fantasy combat using fire and steel, which necessitates a level of maturity to distinguish between cartoonish action and realistic violence. The intense, dark atmosphere and themes of loss and mystery are better suited for pre-teens capable of processing abstract, high-stakes narratives.
